Riesel, TX
Ambit Energy Electric Service, Rates & Plans

Riesel is a rural community of approximately 1,100 residents in Bosque County, situated about 30 miles west of Waco in West Central Texas. When you move to Riesel, you'll work with two separate entities for your electricity service. Oncor Electric Delivery, the transmission and distribution utility, owns and maintains the poles, wires, and meters in your area—call Oncor for any outage or infrastructure problem. For your electricity plan, billing, and customer support, you'll choose a retail electric provider such as Ambit Energy, which competes in Texas's deregulated market to offer you competitive rates and service options. Riesel's subtropical climate means hot summers with temperatures routinely reaching 90 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, driving up cooling costs from June through September, while winters are mild with modest heating needs. Most households in the area use between 1,000 and 2,000 kilowatt-hours per month across a full 12-month cycle. When comparing retail plans, focus on rates in that 1,000 to 2,000 kWh tier rather than the advertised 500 kWh tier, because that range reflects actual household consumption and will show you genuine savings over a contract term. Ambit Energy offers several plan options at competitive rates designed to match the usage patterns of families and individuals in small towns like Riesel.
